Microsoft google

I was trying to buy points from Texas HoldEm Poker tonight and I have it set up with Pay Pal.com but tonight it would not go through as Google jumped in and is trying to give me more security or something. I do not want Google in my games, I have them set up as I want them. Or is it just because of Windows 10?" All I want is Google to stay out of my pay pal account. How do I do this?

Microsoft microsoft products being sold on https://www.lazada.com.ph

I would like to know if these products are legit? If not please put a stop to them and force Lazada to take them down. I logged in to legitimately buy several Microsoft software but I can't believe that these products can be sold for penny's of what they should cost. The seller claims they are selling legit licensed Microsoft software. It a shame that I had to pay over 100 dollars for something they are selling on here for less then 1 dollar.

The surface used to say that windows rt was a mistake for Microsoft that created it and that it didn't pass attention and overlooked it. Users should not be affected by this mistake.

surface pro 1 has been upgraded to windows 10 but surface 2 only has windows rt 8.1. Later releases surface pro 1

Microsoft Windows 10 and its programs

I just bought a new laptop that runs windows 10. It's been a nightmare. I'm a casual computer user, so I have to hope that any program or operating system is user friendly. so, first off: display model mode? what kind of joke is that? the complete lack of help or ease getting that fixed was pure hell. with no internet to set up my new computer, it made my new laptop an expensive paper weight. secondly: no help what so ever to explain programs without an internet connection? thanks for nothing. thirdly: registration to use programs consistently fails, and damned if I can figure out why.
Being unable to easily figure out how to use any of the programs because I don't have a home internet connection is my biggest complaint right now. it makes my expensive new computer virtually useless. Windows 10 has little to no help or tutorials on how to use the programs. I cannot even copy and paste the text of this complaint to Word. Soooooooo frustrating.
I've had a dislike of Microsoft since windows 95. This just reinforces my commitment to avoid purchasing Microsoft products. rather than adhere to any form of business ethics, it just seems like Microsoft wants to cheat consumers out of money by (metaphorically) selling discount bread that can only be toasted with an expensive Microsoft toaster.

Microsoft adchoices - specifically bosch video add

I get up every morning to check out the news. I love the MSN website and the news choices they have, but I constantly get the bosch ad with its music that over runs any video news cast or report that I am trying to watch. I can pause/mute and it will start up after 15-20 seconds. Please remove this annoying option or at least move the audio component.

Microsoft outlook

Hi, Trying again for n-th time. I am an original holder of a Hotmail address gotten before MS acquired them. It is [protected]@hotmail.com. Recently, I got my phone number changed from [protected] to [protected]. I'm trying to set my new number & I can remember my password. I try to go thru the recovery process which sends me a code which I enter but it asks me about CC#s for past purchases. I made purchases as a student between 2011 & 2014 but no longer have those CC numbers as I have lost them or had fraud a couple of times. There needs to be a better system. Right now it is designed to fail. I will be writing a BBB report because this is inexcusable. I tried with One Support which is basically useless. You really should try to help your old customers. I son't want a subscription, I'll pay single incident but that's it. I get the feeling MS is greedy. I also am a programmer, & have gone from MS evangelist to MS hater in one day. There is no excuse for this level of BAD service. It is inexcusable. Now, I have to change all my email addresses everywhere. My next computer will be a MAC because now I absolutely hate MS. This is horrible service that no company should be proud of. Your service stinks, nothing more, nothing less. -- Bill Shurtleff

Microsoft nokia lumia 535

Good evening, I have a grave concern about a message I received on my windows cell phone device. I have attached screenshot of message. I have tried to contact MS support and apparently am declined support as my device is old and not under warranty anymore. It is very disappointing and very demeaning that I have to pay to get support. Please assist

Microsoft xbox charges

I had a card linked to my account and between April and June I had close to $800 of unauthorized charges for Fortnite and other games. Many kids do not understand that these items cost real money or the amount that they are being charged. I kept contacting the company who kept sending me auto replies and ignoring me. The chat agent kept saying my refund was open yet they kept auto emailing me that it was closed with no answers or results. They refuse to refund me though the charges were not authorized.

Microsoft why no windows 11 onwards?

Why are you guys not going to work on Windows 11? Why continue to work on Windows 10 until the end of time? Are you guys just that lazy to not start on a new operating system? What is there to improve upon on Windows 10? Make Windows 11! Windows 10 has been out for four years now and no one has complained enough for Windows 10 to need an update. MAKE WINDOWS 11.

Microsoft xbox one backwards compatibility

I do not like how I can't play every Xbox 360 game on Xbox One. I tried to play The Simpsons Game for the Xbox 360 on my Xbox One S because I have heard that the Xbox One was backwards compatible with the Xbox 360. I put the disc in only to have a message display on screen that the game could not be played. What's the point of selecting specific Xbox 360 games that could be played on Xbox One? Please do a system update that allows the Xbox One S play all Xbox 360 games.

Microsoft scam

For last 2 years I get spam messages on my laptop and telephone calls on my home number indicating that unless I call a certain number my laptop will be frozen and I could face criminal chages unless I pay to have my account reinstated.

I have been to the Windows Store and have complained. Say they are aware but can do nothing and that Microsoft knows about this.

The other day this "spam" came up and then an alarm sounded out of my laptop which was quite loud and unnerving.

Everytime this page comes up on my laptop, I have to STOP what I am doing and manually shut laptop off to get it to end.

I am fed up and as much as I like a PC I am considering going to a MAC!

What am I to do? What can Microsoft Do?

Microsoft being charged 3 times a month for the same service.

The original emails sent to microsoft on 2nd April:
Dear Sir / Madam,

I am writing to you to raise an issue about: Software, product or experience

The issue that I have experienced was: Started charging £7.99 by paypal for microsoft office on the 9th September 2016. Also started charging 5.99 for the same service on the 22nd. Started taking a third payment of 5.99 on Jan 2018. I have called on a few occasions to cancel these and get a full refund but it would appear the c.s. team have been told to make it as difficult as possible for people to cancel and be refunded. Days have been wasted and call-backs never happen! Lat 3 payment you took Transaction ID: 6G8227206M628951B invoice Z30Q9H07IWL7. Transaction ID: 1DS86450BR835031P invoice Z30R9BHAZ67G Transaction ID: 07W23893SE365552V invoiceZ30T7QWM44T8

It occurred on: 9/09/2016

This meant that I have been so upset by microsoft customer services that I gave up. However due to the injustice of this and the simplicity and support offered by resolver I have decided to take this as far as I have to in order to receive every penny back from microsoft.

An apology, an assurance that c.s. reps will be told to resolve issues and not just pass things around until the customer gives up and a complete refund of every penny I have overpaid for the same service. Please send this to the top or I will take it to the small claims court and let them deal with it. Thankyou

I look forward to your prompt response on this matter. As recommended by Trading Standards, I would like to keep a complete record of my case, so please reply back via this email account.

Yours faithfully,

Sylvia Glover

Microsoft xbox one

I am about to contact the Better Business Bureau. The Xbox/microsoft enforcement team is a very ineffective process. I pay for several consoles for several kids and am getting ready to switch to PS4. My son, and adult, got banned, again, by an 11 year old brat because the brat lost the game he was playing. Then, the child spam messaged my son 60 x in 3 minutes and my son kept reporting that. My son got banned! The process is a joke. No one EVER looks into the truth. I have the screen shots of the 11 year old calling my son horrible names and threatening violence, but there is no one to send this to. microsoft says this is the final decision. They have no appeal after you ask for a review, no email or department or even a forum where someone from microsoft actually does something. I have been in operationsfor over 30 years and this is unacceptable. I will be contacting the BBB tomorrow and Consumper Reports. This is the US of A. Not a communist country. Be fair or lose several customers. If anyone k nows where I can go to get some help please answer.

Microsoft outlook.com

My account has been "temporarily suspended because some may have used my account to send spam or junk mail that violated the msa agreement. I'm a senior and I just missed my deadline for a college application and while i'm attempting to log in I can't.

Then they say they will send a verfication code to your phone to make sure its you. What is someone doesn"t have a phone on them at the moment? What if its not convenient for the person because they are busy or working and then try to log in to their account but its suspended. How about sending a warning or even sending an email to an emergency contact or another email address associated with the account?

Or maybe giving any kind of description of who did it, when they did it, or where they did?

It doesn't matter they could at least answer one of those questions. Microsoft is some [censored]!

Microsoft customer service/ live chat

I went to Microsoft Support in search of help to change my email from an older account and move it over to a newer one. I was told to create a dummy email and set as as the primary email for the older account, and then delete the email I wanted moved (my primary email account used for all my day to day emails) and add it as an alias on my current account this of which didn't actually work. After that many of the staff members danced around what had actually happened offering no solution of any kind to the deletion of my account and just telling me to make a new account. Now I'm left without an actual solution and my main email account is gone just like that. All my banking, loan, and uni emails are going to no where. Countless other emails are all lost because of the pathetic staff leading me into a dead end and ruining all my accounts associated with this damn email.

Because of this incompetence I expect a fix. I NEED A FIX. or at the very least compensation and an explanation for this disgraceful work.

Case number for my last chat -[protected]
